history

Schlarpe was founded in the 11th century. The first documentary mention comes from August 11, 1315. Assumptions allow the thesis that the place name Schlarpe is based on the river name type with the ending -apa . However, today there is no river in the immediate vicinity of the place that could support this assumption, only the village itself bears the name, which was previously called villa Slerpe and around 1345 as dorp to der slerpe . On August 11, 1315 Duke Albrecht von Braunschweig enfeoffed the knight Heidenreich von Strus with the village Schlarpe, but reserved the repurchase, while on April 3, 1345 the Dukes Magnus and Ernst von Braunschweig gave the third part of the village to Heidenreich Strutz von Gladebeck awarded as a fief . In the village, which belonged to the Moringen-Hardegsen office in the 19th century, a total of 467 inhabitants lived in 59 houses in 1848; attached to the village was the Bollertsmühle, in which another 9 people lived. Almost 40 years earlier, the Lutheran parish was under the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Westphalia and had 355 inhabitants in 57 houses.

On March 1, 1974, the formerly independent community was incorporated into the newly founded large community of Uslar.

Culture and sights

Medieval village church

Ev.-luth. Fortified church

The main attraction of Schlarpe is the church. The core of the nave is still medieval, but was given its present shape in 1771 through a renovation. In the lower area it is made of sandstone quarry stone masonry with corner blocks , in the upper area as a simple half-timbered building with sandstone infills in a simple hall shape. At the top it closes with a gable roof that is hipped to the west. To the east is the east tower, which was also built in the Middle Ages from quarry stone with corner blocks, which, with its six storeys, reaches a height of 18 meters. The slit-like window openings on three sides of the tower make the defensive character of the church clear. The tower also has a half-timbered upper floor, which was added in 1948 and is now protected on the outside by a beaver tail curtain, as well as a tent roof. The ground floor has a groin vault and is now used as a sanctuary. The medieval Altarmensa rests on four stone pillars, the font dates from 1601.

traffic

  • Road: On the edge of the village, the B241 , which has been straightened in this area since 2009, runs from Northeim via Uslar towards Beverungen. Only a side road leads through Schlarpe. The next motorway junctions are on the A7 in Northeim, Nörten-Hardenberg and Göttingen.

Economy and tourism

Agriculture and forestry hardly play a role anymore. Since there is no industry in the town, most of the workers have to commute to the surrounding towns and cities.
